I am pretty sure that model didn't touch it to face - If she didn't had it applied on face - it could be even non toxic finger paint...
That part is fine, but more what sort of paint is used on the brush and down the hand, i just don't know enough about paints i think to go in a guess, haha
If I was trying to do that without actually knowing how it was done, I'd probably consider using liquid latex for a trial run. It strikes me that the stuff would be easier to handle than paint.

I know that Johny getting some cheap stuff as accessories - I may be wrong but I would say it's a finger paint - this should look thick as on picture and is easy too clean...
Isn't easier to ask even model & Johny Farrar - who was MUA or is she knows what was used for this look?? models portfolio http://www.modelmayhem.com/1377339...
I had liquid bodypaints from Ben Nye - and it wasn't that thick...it was more runny liquid...
I agree that there appears to be a lot of post in the image.... that makes nailing down product recommendations a little trickier.
I would absolutely stress a cosmetic product - it is the most responsible, respectful course of action for the model's sake. Can we use craft products? Begrudgingly. House paint? Never.
The paint looks very thin to me. Turkey baster is an option, but for me would be too hard to control.
If I had to create this look, I'd use thinned, colored edible piping gel applied with a disposable pipet or squeeze bottle.

Any and all help is very much appreciated so thanks in advance.
Rather than guess... why not just email John Farrar and politely ask. It never hurts to ask. Most photographers are more than happy to share. At least... that's been my experience.
Yeah, who ever said it looks like two images now that you mention it i think your right.
As for asking the tog/model i used to do that but just never heard replies so sorta stopped but will give it ago, although i do enjoy these discussions about methods and ideas, never know where it will lead.
As for paint i'll check out the options you guys suggested, thanks heaps, feel free to share anymore ideas you have.
like that stuff you use in primary school because it's non toxic and can be cleaned easily. It has a really definitive texture and catches light beautifully.
